Around here there's a zero tolerance policy towards people throwing shit off lifts now, get caught doing it and say goodbye to your season pass. You should've reported them for sure, it was a total dick move on that kids part, but karma will bite him in the ass eventually.

Guys, calm down. No need to be dicks here. If you're not satisfied with my story then do me a favor and click the little back button on the top left of your screen, or press backspace, your go. Also, I looked at this kid for about 2 minutes, to get a good look at him in case he did something again. Then I could report him with ease. Again, if you see a kid with a custom who is that bad, i'm sure you would see the other gear too. Burton boards= Burton bindings. Chances are with teenagers too they buy whatever is expensive and therefore "good". I am not knocking the custom, great board, but I believe younger adults tend to choose Burton over other brands better for their riding style. That being said, most teenagers who don't know anything go with the most expensive Burton's. Once again, no offense to you Burton riders. I just personally prefer lib tech over all.

I am also not too sure about the goggles- my girlfriend picked them up at random so I don't loose anymore contacts. I know they were nothing good, just average clear lens's with a black frame. I'll do some research to find out if you guys would like.

Regardless of anything else in this story, throwing an ice ball is a dick move. It is one thing to throw a snowball at a friend and play around; it is quite another to do what the kid did. Having said that, two wrongs certainly don`t make a right and as an adult, you would have gotten charged with assault of a minor had you physically attacked the kid. Now if a kid attacks you and you defend yourself; totally different story in the eyes of a judge and jury...

You did the right thing by keeping your cool, but I am with deviant; I would have turned his ass in to patrol in a heart beat. We don`t shitheads like this on the hill.

Agreed.

Also, I ride burton, but most people with burton gear piss me off. I worked all summer to pay for my gear and got it really steeply discounted ($200 for 2010 custom/cartels on craigslist), but I'm seriously considering trading it in just because I don't want to be associated with all those douches.

Yeah telosion i didn't mean to bad mouth Burton. But your one of the few that buys it for the gear, NOT the name. You're right, most kids ruin the name by buying it. But it still is a nice brand besides that.

To Snowwolf and jpg3- I went back for a few short hours this morning. Saw the kid again, he was knocking snow off of his board purposely over peoples heads then laughing. Soon as I got down the hill I found a ski patrol, reported him. As I was coming down again, I passed him handing over his season pass to the ski patrol. Better satisfaction then punching him would have brought haha.. karma prevails!
